People always ask what SAMA means. It started as kind of a joke. It was a sleeting, snowy day in early December. My friend and I were surfing a swell in Grand Haven. I looked over at him knowing we were supposed to both be at pre-Christmas family functions soon, and said "We are like Self Absorbed Michigan Adventurers." That kind of stuck, and like many of our friends we have a common passion for outdoor sports in Michigan, and we go out in any weather to get our sessions. He replied "Ya, SAMA!"

So it was born, the SAMA logo was fashioned by another like minded surfer friend from Grand Haven. SAMA is for all of you year round Michiganders and vacationers who know, love, and respect all the outdoor activities there are to do in Michigan. No matter the weather you will find us us out enjoying all the benefits of our unique freshwater paradise.

Saturday 15th Adopt-A-Beach

Hey ya'll! Saturday September 15th is the Alliance for the Great Lakes Annual Adopt-A-Beach! There are many locations in Ottawa & Muskegon Counties...you can check them out online and register to volunteer at:

www.greatlakesadopt.org

I am the coordinator for the Muskegon State Park clean up...and could suggest possibly some SAMA support up there before the Irish Music Festival??? Or it could be pretty cool to see a SAMA shirt at every surf beach in the area...

Facts about the Adopt-A-Beach:
  • It is international! Lakes, Rivers, Oceans...all around the world get a good cleaning on September 15th!
  • Since 1986 thousands of volunteers from around the globe have cleared over 100 million pounds of trash from 170,000 miles of shorelines, rivers, lakes, and wetlands!
  • They have underwater clean ups as well...bring your dive gear!!

let me know if you have any questions...tell all your friends!!
